Additionally, your "Unknown filesystem" errors could be due to a missing
default filesystem option in the fstab. Check to make sure that the third
field for your cdrom entry reads as "iso9660" -- otherwise you will have to
specify the filesystem type every time you try to mount. (mount /mnt/cdrom
-t iso9660).
